Casual dating is the new dating trend that has taken our youth and others by storm. Chivalry might be dead, but this new way of romantically connecting is very much alive. We can imagine how no commitment, no strings attached, and no hurt feelings seem real appealing to basically everyone. Still not convinced? Here are five perks of casual dating.

1. No rules.

One of the most frustrating parts about relationships is all of the said and unsaid rules that couples need to follow. Rules about when it’s okay to call when it’s okay to sleep over and when it’s time to meet the parents become exhausting. Thankfully, the major upside of casual dating is that these rules no longer exist.

2. Less pressure.

Sometimes people in relationships can get flustered or stressed out because they’re feeling weighted down by all of the pressure that comes out of dating. When are you moving to the next step? When will you meet the parents? When are you going to move in together? When are you getting engaged? All of these questions can bog down the mind and create unwanted pressure on the two people in a relationship. But the awesome thing about casual dating is the fact that the pressure doesn’t exist. It’s a much more relaxed, go with the flow sort of situation.

3. You can keep your options open.

If you’re the type of person who hates being tied down, and you don’t do too well with commitment, casual dating is totally for you. Usually, there’s no rule saying that you two can’t see other people. This is awesome because you can keep playing the field, and move on to someone new if you feel that there’s more potential there. And honestly, it’s just fun! When you’re young, you should be able to explore your options.

4. You don’t need to plan the future.

Sometimes couples get so distracted by planning the future they forget to live in the present. With casual dating, the fact that it’s temporary is practically a given, so you don’t need to sweat the future. You have the chance to live in the moment and not worry about what’s going to happen down the road.

5. You don’t lose sight of yourself.

We all know those people, or maybe you are that person, who gets so caught up in your relationship you forget who you are. You talk to your friends less; you give up your hobbies to have more time with your partner, and you become super dependent on them for everything. This situation is almost impossible while casual dating, because there’s way less time spent together, and you both have very separate lives.

About Me

Hey everyone. I'm Vanessa, but everyone calls me V. This was the only website URL I could find, and I was too lazy to make up my own, so I decided to go with this one! I've always wanted to start a blog so recently, I decided why not go for it! A couple of my friends blog too, and that's why I decided to get into it because it seemed pretty cool.

Some things I like to do for fun include riding my longboard, surfing, and hanging out with my friends. I love anything by the beach and have lived by the beach my whole life. I live in Costa Mesa, which is a town in OC in California. I don't think I could ever not live by the beach because it's the only time I feel secure. There's something so amazing about being by the water. I've never understood how people live in the middle of the country, and I'll never know because I know I'll never leave Cali. Anyway, thanks for checking out my blog... Hope you enjoy!
